Extraction of some strategic elements from thorium–uranium concentrate using bioproducts of Aspergillus ficuum and Pseudomonas aeruginosa

The activity of the bioproducts from Aspergillus ficuum and Pseudomonas aeruginosa for extraction of thorium (Th4+), uranium (UO22+) and rare earth elements (REEs) from thorium–uranium concentrate was studied. P. aeruginosa produce element-specific ligand (siderophore) that is able to change pH and...
